The Emperors of Rome drank Gaillac - clearly documented by the poet Ausone. The potteries of Montans produced amphoras in which the wine, with the addition of a few herbs, seemed to travel well. In 972, the monks of Candeil founded their monastery at St Michel and produced the first sparkling wines, long before Dom Perignon in Champagne (as the locals never cease to remind you).
